Wheels fitments
I have 10's on the back of mine with no probs mate, pretty sure ET 42 or 45 and 9's on the front. I do think a slightly wider rear always looks best rather than having same widths all around. smithy

Upper Link Adjustable Camber Arms
Shame that mate, as you'll see from searching silverbullet is the only person here ( couldn't see any in the US either) that has ever had an issue with powertrix, which have been around for many years than many others but yet still continue by way of trial and error improve on their products. smithy

turbo water pipes removed !
I know that when i was selling a lot of turbo kits for Zed some years back, Turbo Dynamics only ever put a note in their packaging that water feeds must be fitted to (from memory) the ball bearing turbo's, which then was the t25/28 hybrids. So see no reason why it's an issue with all the others, but yes SE Nissan often didn't fit water feeds to their replacement turbo's. smithy

Blow off valve question
As the zed is fitted with re circ BOVS as standard, obviously they don't make anay noise. Some peeps when needing new ones, buy aftermarket re circ BOVS, reason being is they ain't interested in the tshhh farting sound. smithy

Beyond repair?
Christ that was cheap!! i paid more than that just for panels and other odds an sods to fit and 3 of which were cheap copies. Labour was then on top of that.. smithy

Beyond repair?
Thats quite bad IMO mate, whilst you can pick up outer skin repair panels now quite cheap money, there are actually 3 of them each side, the most inner one only available from nissan at around 200 big ones. However a decent metalworker and welder could overcome that part perhaps. Suggest lifting the rear bench seat and then the carpet to see how far in towards the middle of rear floor pan the rust has gone. Let us know what you find. I replaced all 3 panels on drivers side and 2 on pass side, doing it properly was quite a big job! smithy

New member! Looking at a TT this weekend!
Not sure which zed your talking about, the black or white Zeds were limited to 155mph Boost gauges were not used " i think after late 94" someone may claify. so don't always expect to see one in a zed TT logo means nothing, many don't have any logos on Earthing comments, there are numerous Zeds out there that had aftermarket earthing kits fitted and they all went back the battery, in a kinda loop, so that maybe what you seen??. Both the black and white zeds had TT front bumpers on too. So you may have walked away from summit in the wrong belief fella. smithy

Just some Clarification on Front brake upgrade
Yes R33 calipers are bolt straight on, you use GTR33 or 34 discs, 324mm ones. if you use a same size disc but for a different car, then the offsett wil be wrong, so order discs to suit 33/34. Yes the R34's bolt on with a very minor mod and again same thing as regards discs. As for the rear, am 99.9% certain yes the GTR33 bolt on also. smithy

Brakes - GTR or 350Z
Assuming they are the Gold Brembo's as fitted to some 350Z's then yes worth getting if the price is right. You MUST get the discs with the front calipers and the calipers will bolt straight on if you drill out the Zed lug hole from 12mm to 14mm, so try to get the caliper securing bolts as well. If you don't get the discs, 350Z discs are required and if using the discs, no bracket is then required. If using stock Zed discs with 350Z calipers, then brackets are required. Rear calipers and discs from the 350Z is somewhat of a hard job to do though and requires quite a bit of modding to fit. smithy
